Rhodium, a platinum group metal, is the most expensive metal in this class. It is used in the
jewelry sector, optical devices, automotive industry and chemical processes. It is highly preferred in
coatings made in the jewelry sector. In this study, a comprehensive research has been conducted on rhodium
metal, which is among the precious metals, and a study that is intended to contribute scientifically has been
presented by organizing the information. Rhodium is a very valuable metal in economic and environmental
terms. Coatings made with rhodium have a significant difference when compared to other metals. For this
reason, coating was made with this metal under laboratory conditions. The general grinding method was
chosen from existing methods such as general and pencil grinding for rhodium coating. The necessary
conditions were determined to be able to make the most efficient coating. The necessary surface
preparations for coating and the steps to bring it to environmental conditions were carried out. Rhodium
coating was applied to the selected plate and earring surfaces in the school laboratory. As a result of the
coating, materials with white and shiny surfaces were obtained.
